President Joe Biden took Trump to task for his support of a nationwide abortion ban and his role in repealing Roe v. Wade, criticizing him for “taking away women’s freedom,” putting women’s lives in danger, and unleashing “cruelty and chaos all across America.”
Robinson’s new remarks are just the latest in a long and well-documented anti-abortion record that includes support for a complete abortion ban, without exceptions for rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.
What’s the best job in the world? Chances are, we all have a different answer to that question. For North Carolina Congressman Jeff Jackson, it’s the one he’s campaigning for this year. “If you like public service, being attorney general is the best job in the...
The Republican-controlled General Assembly passed its 12-week abortion ban over the objections of nearly every medical association and a majority of North Carolinians, and they did it at night and with little chance for debate. They passed new election maps, which...
Project 2025, a conservative blueprint for a second Trump administration, calls for the Justice Department to start enforcing the Comstock Act of 1873. The old law bans the mailing of “anything designed, adapted, or intended for producing abortion,” which could include medical instruments.

Cardinal & Pine recently sat down with Jackson for an interview to get a better sense of why he’s running, what he would focus on as AG, and why the stakes of this particular election are so high.
